Fire breaking out in carbonated reinforcement concrete structures considerably deteriorates the durability of them by propelling carbonation. However, the research and technical development to recover the durability is still in an underdeveloping stage in Korea. Therefore, this research aims to understanding the deteriorated durability of a carbonated structure, evaluating the performance of an impregnating alkalization agent to recover the durability and developing a way of using it.

The low-durability performance of concrete structure occurs by interactive deterioration factors. In particular, carbonation increased with its time elapse is known as the general manner of deterioration characteristics. Recently, the fundamental researches of the carbonation mechanism, besides method and technique for durability improvement of deteriorated structure are advanced actively. So in this paper, alkali-recovery and maintenance performance when the impregnating alkalization agents are used, are compared and examined quantitively with the basis of past proposed study. As a result, alkali-recovery performance be ensured by impregnating alkalization agent on the carbonated concrete which has low pH by accelerated carbonation test. And alkali maintenance performance was effected by the finishing materials on the alkali recovered concrete.
